Tess Smith, DVM, DACVIM (Neurology), and Lizabeth Lueck, DVM, MS, DACVIM (Neurology), are AERC’s board-certified veterinary neurologists and neurosurgeons.
Veterinary neurology focuses on conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, muscles, and nerves in animals. Our Neurology Team is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools. We have a high-field MRI for precise imaging of the brain, spinal cord, and associated muscles. We also perform neurosurgery (spinal and brain), spinal fluid collection, electrodiagnostics, and nerve and muscle biopsies.
The majority of our advanced diagnostics require anesthesia. Our experienced anesthesia team, composed of board-certified anesthesiologists and anesthesia technicians, help ensure that anesthesia is as safe as possible—even for the most complex anesthetic cases.
At AERC, we are committed to providing individualized care for every pet and family we serve. Our specialists also prioritize collaboration with your family veterinarian, ensuring they stay informed and involved in your pet’s care.
If you’re considering a neurology consultation for your pet, please call us at (651) 501-3766 or ask your family veterinarian for a referral.
